The study attempted a comprehensive assessment of factors affecting health-related quality of life in the young-old and old-old. Data from the Community Health Survey for 5 years from 2015 to 2019 were analyzed. Research Results Health-related quality of life appears to be higher in the elderly than in the late-stage elderly, and various factors such as age, education level, household income, presence or absence of economic activity, presence or absence of moderate physical activity, stress or presence, and subjective health level Has been found to affect health-related quality of life. In particular, good or bad subjective health and subjective oral health had the greatest influence. In terms of the household type, the quality of life was high in young-old adults living in a three-generation household and old-old adults living in a one-generation household.

The aim of this study was to investigate the association between perceived periodontal status and sexual function among adult men. Three hundred thirty adult male participated in this study living at Changwon and Jinju. All the participants surveyed the socio-demographic characteristics, perceived periodontal status, stress, and international index of erectile function (IIEF) using self-administrated questionnaire. The univariate and multivariate analyze were adapted to access the crude and adjusted associations using PASW Statistics 18.0. In univariate analysis, there were significant differences between perceived periodontal status and IIEF and most of socio-demographic characteristics (p<0.05), but no significant differences between stress and all of socio-demographic characteristics (p>0.05). The sexual function was negatively correlated with perceived periodontal status (r=-0.228, p<0.001) and stress (r=-0.257, p<0.001), respectively. In multivariate analysis, perceived periodontal status was significantly associated with sexual function (b=-0.889, p=0.030) after adjusting for socio-demographic characteristics and stress. Therefore, it is found that perceived periodontal status negatively influenced on sexual function in adult men.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association between industrial workers' job stress and oral health related quality of life and subjective happiness. The subjects of this study were 228 workers, from August 8 to September 2, 2016, research tool was the structured, anonymous, self-administrated questionnaire. The data were analyzed by SPSSWIN 18.0, t-test and one way ANOVA, Scheffe' post hoc test, Pearson correlation and Hierarchial multiple regression. Negative correlation was found between job stress and OHIP-14 and between job stress and subjective happiness and positive correlation was found between OHIP-14 and subjective happiness. As for the explanatory power of the independent variables affecting subjective happiness, gender, self-reported living status, self-reported general health, dental checkups, and job stress were significant variables. It is therefore necessary to run an industrial oral intervention program on a regular basis and cope positively with stress with the objective of helping workers improve their subjective happiness.

The purpose of this study was to examine and compare factors affecting the subjective life expectancy among the elderly, and to suggest health practice and social welfare service implications for later life. A total of 4,483 seniors from the 6th wave(2016) of the Korean Longitudinal Study on Aging (KLoSA) were used for analysis. The subjects were divided into three age groups: the young-old (n=2,106, 65~74 years), middle-old (n=1,803, 75~84 years), and oldest-old (n=574, 85 years and older). Control variables were sociodemographic factors and health status factors. Independent variables were health promotion behavior, cognition of public care, participating social activity, economic activity, and receiving basic pension. The data were analyzed using hierarchical multiple regression. The main results were as follows. Health promotion behavior was associated with the young-old. Social activities and economic activity were associated with the young-old and middle-old. Receiving basic pension had a significant impact on all age groups. In the middle-old, significant results were focused on socio-demographic and health status factors compared to other groups. The results of this study will provide basic data for the elderly policy and welfare service and will help to find and improve the important factors for the life of the elderly.

This study analyzes differences of self-rated health status between Korea and three European countries. Self-rated health status is highly correlated with objective health status such as chronic diseases and ADL(Activities of Daily Living)/IADL(Instrumental Activities of Daily Living), but it is also influenced by individual attitude or belief about health. Therefore, differences of self-rated health status among countries are determined by the combination of (1) differences of objective health status and (2) socio-cultural characteristics affecting individuals' attitude and belief. Using 'Korean Longitudinal Study of Ageing(KLoSA 2006)' and 'Survey of Health, Ageing, and Retirement in Europe (SHARE 2004)', we found that Korean older people are more likely to feel negatively on their health status than their European counterpart. The findings are explained in two different ways. First, how strongly the objective health status affects on the subjective health status varies among countries. Korean older people with chronic diseases are more likely to evaluate their health status negatively because of the diseases than their European counterparts do. Second, after controlling the effects of the objective health condition, the subjective health status of Korean older people is still lower than that of the European elderly.

This study aimed to identify the self-rated health and its associated factors of the elderly. Study subjects were community-dwelling elderly of 60 or more. Survey was done by using questionnaire including general characteristics, lifestyle, and health related variables. Blood pressure, anthropometric variables, lipid profiles, and fasting glucose were checked. Descriptive statistics showed that good self-rated health was 78.2% in the elderly. Multiple logistic regressions revealed that good self-rated health was associated with disease(OR:10.83, 95% CI:2.47-47.43), depression(OR=2.50, 95% CI=1.20-5.18), and exercise(OR=3.01, 95% CI=1.40-6.47). Therefore, health promotion program considering associated factors of self-rated health should be developed.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the diet quality in Korean middle-aged women based on their self-rated health status (SRH) as well as to investigate the relationship between SRH and the diet quality. For the study, we obtained data for analysis from the combined 2008~2009 Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES). The study subjects were divided into two groups-'Good' group (${\geq}3.06$, n=622) and 'Bad' group (<3.06, n=1,092)- on the basis of the average SRH value (3.06). The women in the 'Good' group had achieved a higher education level and had a significantly high monthly average income (P<0.05), whereas women in the 'Bad' group had a larger waist circumference (P<0.05). In addition, women in the 'Good' group engaged in more physical activities (P<0.01). In comparison with the women in 'Bad' group, women in the 'Good' group were found to have a superior nutritional status, with a nutrient adequacy ratio (NAR) of protein (P<0.05), calcium (P<0.05), iron (P<0.05), vitamin A (P<0.05), vitamin $B_2$ (P<0.05), and niacin (P<0.01). The mean adequacy ratio (MAR) of women in the 'Good' group was also significantly higher than that of the women in the 'Bad' group. The index of nutritional quality (INQ) of protein (P<0.05), iron (P<0.05), vitamin $B_1$ (P<0.05), and niacin (P<0.05) in women belonging to the 'Good' group were also significantly higher than that in the women assigned the 'Bad' group. The results of regression analysis on the relevance between the diet quality and SRH, MAR, and INQ showed a significantly positive relevance (P<0.001), even after adjusting for disturbance factors. The results of this study show that diet quality seems to be the important factor for improving SRH of women. Therefore, we suggest that developing dietary guidelines and educating women about the guidelines would improve health of middle-aged women in Korea.
